Tuesday night in Chongqing, under a pedestrian bridge on Jiabin Road near the tourist area, a heavy storm left a puddle about ten centimeters deep. A mother and her daughter, out-of-town visitors, collapsed upon stepping into the water with sneakers on. Witnesses felt the electric current while trying to approach and had to use umbrellas and plastic bags to pull them out. Police and an ambulance rushed them to the hospital. The mother is now stable; the daughter remains in critical condition. Locals are talking about "electricity in the water," and utility crews are already inspecting the area. In a tourist-packed spot, a small puddle turned into a silent trap because public facilities didn't cut the power in time. The rain exposed a hidden risk that often goes unnoticed until someone falls victim. ]]> Wed 26 Aug 2026 13:01:13 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619076/mother-and-daughter-tourists-fall-into-electrified-puddle-near-hongyadong/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610856/man-caught-catching-green-iguana-gets-electrocuted-horrifying-footage-of-him-burning-up-has-been-released/
An accident occurred in the Linyuan Petrochemical Industrial Park in Kaohsiung City on the afternoon of the 31st. A 22-year-old man surnamed Zhou accidentally touched an electric wire while using a long pole lasso to capture a green iguana. He was electrocuted by 69,000 volts of ultra-high voltage electricity and collapsed on the spot. Fortunately, bystanders extinguished the fire and he was sent to the hospital for treatment. He is currently conscious and out of danger. ]]> Wed 04 Feb 2026 11:32:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610856/man-caught-catching-green-iguana-gets-electrocuted-horrifying-footage-of-him-burning-up-has-been-released/
